Perfect day for mixing. It’s cloudy and somewhat cool. So I’m going to hit up my new “vape station” and see if it helps or needs revisions.

BCF replied to my email regarding a sale for this holiday. The said details would be out “this weekend”.

Well no poop Sherlock o_O !!

Well, a 10 day steep on a 10ml of Best Damn Pink Lemonade, and I would say this isn't an ADV, imo. More like an in betweener for ADVs to cleanse the palette. Maybe I'm just not as big of a fan of pink lemonade as I thought, maybe it's the %s need to be raised. I recently made a blueberry/blue raspberry menthol mix, which I really like, but it's not the mix where I want to mix gallons of it and just immerse myself in it.. so I just mixed up a 30ml. Maybe this Pink Lemonade is like that. I think before I mix a 30ml, I should mess around with the %s.

I made it last year and felt it lacking too. I played around with it but it never inspired me to make more.

If all else fails I can use the flavors I bought for this recipe and supplement mixes, not sure what I would do with the lemonade though.

    I love this recipe but felt it needed some oomph! I turned it into Fizzy Pink Lemonade on the Rocks with the addition of 2% FW Pink Champagne and .5 to .75% WS-23.

    My new favorite lemonade, which I believe just came out last year, is VTA Lemonade Clear. It is tarter and brighter than LA, IMO.

    My new Fizzy Pink Lemonade recipe is:

    10% Menthol Solution 1% (OPTIONAL)
    Lemon (FE) 1% (cuts down on the lemon fade better than Lemon Sicily)
    Lemonade Clear (VTA) 6%
    Pink Champagne (FW) 2%
    Raspberry, Sweet (TPA) 2%
    Strawberry Ripe (TPA) 1%
    Super Sweet (CAP) or your favorite sweetener .5 to 1% (OPTIONAL)
    WS-23 30 %. 75% (OPTIONAL)

    I hadn't read your post above when I just called and spoke with BCF owner. Told him quite a few people on the Random DIY thread on ECF were anxiously waiting for details of a possible sale, especially 1 DIYer (ummmm, you) who'd been waiting for 3 weeks with items in her cart!

    He said, "All I can tell you right now, is that details of the sale will be made public Friday night." So, not much longer!

    I also mentioned that people were ordering some flavorings directly from CF...that they couldn't get from BCF. He said he'd love for people to email them...at support@bullcityflavors.com, with a list of CF flavorings, and others, that they'd like for him to carry. Said he'd do his best to start carrying them. :thumbs:

    Try my recipe with the LA Lemonade that you have. LA is a very good lemonade. Just spike it up with the FW Pink Champagne and menthol and/or WS-23 if you like coolant.

    This looks really good, Pam, unfortunately I need 4 flavors for this, so I'll save it for now. BTW, the only menthol I have is FA Arctic Winter (don't know why, because I love menthol :confused:), it that OK to use or is it too much?

    Yeah, still haven't done any SFTs and I'm getting antsy because I have way too much that needs doing... My house is a wreck and I've had events come up that took me out of the house for the last 3 weekends now. I want to 'play', but I have to clean and do the winter-summer shoes/clothing change over before August is here. :censored:

    Any other menthols that I should pick up? ;) (Nothing 'wintergreen-y' though :::yuck::: )

    I have never used FA Arctic Winter but am guessing (and I stress guessing because an online search didn't find the info I was looking for) that it is a 10% Menthol solution. That is the usual, no matter the brand. I buy menthol crystals and dissolve them in PG for a 10% solution. I don't like wintergreen either. :)

    I've used FW menthol and I recommend it. Other people seem to like it too.

    All of the branded menthol solutions are just 10% menthol solutions in PG. It is cheaper to make your own from crystals and PG. I don't think there is any difference between the branded menthol solutions - TFA, FW, FA, etc.

    I think I'll do that, Pam. I think the Arctic Winter may have mint(s) in it, but I need to check. Perhaps the reason this is the only menthol-y flavor that I have is that I may have intended on mixing the crystals myself, too, but I forgot the dang crystals. :lol:

    It should be fine, it's the one I use myself.

    I don't think there is any difference between the branded menthol solutions - TFA, FW, FA, etc.

    Hmm, well not quite ... one is 1.49$ another is 2.50$ and yet another is 2.25$ ... there is even one that goes for 8.49$! :eek: Bet ya' can't guess which brand that last one is, lol.

    I really wanted to order a few flavors I'm missing when the latest sale popped up but given the current weather pattern, I'm going to have to skip it. We are looking at record high temperatures for this time of year and I really don't want my flavors to bake in the mail trucks and subsequently, my mailbox. :(

    I did not know that, that's good to know! Fortunately, I think this 10ml bottle will last me ages the way I've been using it, so far that is.

    I've had good luck requesting flavors from BCF. I think a few of us here have.
